Abstract

Since it was popularized in the 1990s, the adoption of lean production has been a primary driver for continuous improvement efforts worldwide. The next wave of industrial improvement is widely considered to be driven by industry 4.0 and digitalization. This has more recently led to the emerging concept of digital lean manufacturing. In this paper, we address a shortcoming in the extant literature, which presents an abundance of roadmaps for digitalization but very few addressing this in combination with lean. As such, we present a learning roadmap for digital lean manufacturing, with a core focus on cybersecurity. The roadmap has been developed and tested by combining theory with practical insights at the Norwegian Catapult Lean4zero Lab, Norway’s first and only full-scale digital lean simulator.
